I was thinking about doing that to mine. How long is the original bolt, and
how long is the slot?

I noticed the bolt that came on my replacement radiator was simply just a
bolt. Not cut with slot like the OEM was. I couldn't find the OEM one of
course after installing the new radiator so I simply cut a slot into the new
bolt. It does bleed much easier with the slot cut than just using an
straight bolt!!
